Technical Details:

Maximum Safety in Hazardous Environments

The Fireray 3000 Ex d achieves its explosion proof rating through a meticulously engineered flameproof enclosure. Certified to ATEX and IECEx standards for Zones 1, 2, 21, and 22, the unit’s housing is designed to contain any potential internal ignition and prevent the transmission of flames to the external hazardous atmosphere. The robust, sealed metal construction not only provides this critical safety feature but also offers IP66-rated protection against dust and water ingress, ensuring long-term reliability and performance in aggressive industrial environments.

False Alarm Reduction with Intelligent Detection

At the core of the detector's reliability is FFE’s proprietary Light Cancellation Technology. This system employs sophisticated algorithms to actively monitor and compensate for ambient light conditions, including direct sunlight and high-intensity artificial lighting. By filtering out these non-fire stimuli, the Fireray 3000 Ex d maintains high sensitivity to smoke particles while preventing the false alarms that can disrupt operations and reduce confidence in a fire safety system. This ensures that any alarm is a genuine event, warranting immediate attention.

Effortless Maintenance with Ground-Level Control

Operational efficiency is greatly enhanced by the integrated low level controller, which features a clear LCD display. This ground-level interface provides engineers with full access to system diagnostics, including fire and fault diagnosis, event logs, and alignment parameters. It removes the need for scaffolding or mobile platforms to access the detector heads, significantly reducing maintenance time, cost, and safety risks. All adjustments and status checks can be performed quickly and safely from a convenient location, streamlining the entire commissioning and service process.

Your Questions, Answered

Find answers to common questions about the Fireray 3000 Ex d beam smoke detector.

What does 'Ex d' certified mean?

The 'Ex d' certification indicates that the product has a flameproof enclosure. This means the housing is constructed to withstand an internal explosion from flammable gases or dusts and prevent it from propagating into the surrounding explosive atmosphere, ensuring safety in hazardous zones

In which specific environments can the Fireray 3000 Ex d be used?

It is designed for environments where flammable gases or dusts are present, such as chemical processing plants, oil and gas refineries, paint spray booths, and grain storage silos. It is certified for use in ATEX and IECEx Zones 1, 2, 21, and 22

How does the low level controller benefit the user?

The low level controller allows all system configuration, commissioning, and maintenance to be performed from a safe and convenient location on the ground. This eliminates the need for costly and high-risk access equipment to reach the detector heads, simplifying fire and fault diagnosis and reducing operational disruption

What is Light Cancellation Technology?

Light Cancellation Technology is an advanced FFE innovation that enables the detector to distinguish between smoke and other environmental factors, such as sunlight, sodium lamps, and fluorescent lighting. This significantly reduces the risk of false alarms, ensuring the system only activates in a real fire event.

Can multiple Fireray 3000 Ex d systems be installed close to each other?

Yes. The system features dynamic beam phasing, which allows multiple units to be installed in close proximity or with overlapping beams without causing interference between them. This makes it ideal for protecting large or complex areas
